After staring at the picture for a while, I have determined that Viodentia is none other than....REGIS PHILBIN!!! ]]>Sep 25th 2006 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/Sep 25th 2006 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/
With respect to the impact on music subscription services, I strongly agree with Viodentia. People will continue to pay subscription fees for access to new titles but I also think a HUGE part of the reason they will stay is the excellent organization of content they provide. Anyone who knows anything can find a particular music file for free download somewhere on the net if they really want it but they cannot download the organizational scheme. To provide artist reviews and history, album art, links to similar artists one might enjoy, user created playlists, etc, all in one convenient, easy to use interface is awesome and worth the subscription price alone. I have never enjoyed listening to music more! But when it comes to playing what I like where, how and on what I like, there should be no burdensome restrictions and with bright individuals like Viodentia, hopefully there never will be.

The first part of this sentence, leading into your interview, is as confusing to be as is DRM. Can you re-write or explain, please?]]>Sep 25th 2006 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/
Hit up some reading classes, get your reading level up to 10th grade or so and it all makes perfect sense. In fact, my efforts to rewrite or explain it seem to be no clearer.

It's pointing out the irony of multibillion dollar microsoft being 'beaten' by an individual with no monetary motivation. Of course no company would do something like FU4WM so the only one TO beat microsoft is an individual. Oh, and he did it twice.]]>Sep 28th 2006 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/Sep 25th 2006 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/Thank you for creating a program that allows me the freedom to put any music on my iPod.

I'll spend money in something that brings me something good. And never spend in something that restricts my pleasure. ]]>Sep 25th 2006 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/the-engadget-interview-viodentia-creator-of-fairuse4wm/am i the only one that has my priorities in order?
i refuse to pay for music/movies,hell i dont even listen to the radio,or watch tv. listening/watching commercials cost too much for me.i think it insults my intelligence how advertisers think we are all so stupid that if we dont see/hear their retarded commercials every 5 minutes we might forget their products exist!
advertising std meds during cartoons,WTF?!
so whats the alternative?xm/satelite/cable? no thanks.hell no!
piracy?why bother,all you get is virus,that make you have to purchase anti-virus apps.how convenient.
oh and by the way microsoft is responsible for creating and releasing most virii.
i know i used to dissect them!

maybe its time for people to wake up and realize how useless entertainment really is,and put it in its place,all too many people put it too high on their stack of priorities.

food for thought,one ball playing idiot makes more money in a season than a school full of teachers in a year.
want more?
one movie star gets paid more money for acting(acting=making an ass of them selves publicly on a massive scale)in one movie than a school full of teachers in a year!
need i say more?
its time for this world to pull its pants up over their underware like they are supposed to be,and grow up!!!
all of you have been dumbed down by your parents/teachers/bosses/government for tooo long.
so long in fact that you are all proud of your anti-intellectualism.and happy to spend your lives working away like a slave to the entertainment indusrty.shame,shame,shame.
can anyone name a single evolutionary benifit of it all? i didnt think so.

The obvious problem with this line of thinking is that it's akin to saying "as long as there's no DRM, I have no problem with DRM." DRM's entire reason for existence is to lock content into a specific metaphorical box. It is specifically *intended* to keep you from doing certain things with your content that the creators of that content don't want you doing.

Before anyone says "but it's not YOUR content", name me one other product that you can buy and that the creator can post-purchase tell you how you can and can't use it. (I'm not talking about using products as part of committing some other crime, i.e. handguns, I'm talking an otherwise legal use that the manufacturer locks you out of just because they feel like it.) I can't think of a single one. I can buy a $3,000 TV and use it as a paperweight if I want; that's my prerogative. I can give it to my friend, I can loan it to somebody. I can re-sell it. I can do these things because I *purchased* it. The creator has no say in the matter.

DRM exists to take these fundamental and statutory rights away from you (and they are rights under the first-sale doctrine). So there can never be a case where DRM is *not* onerous. It will always be onerous; that is in fact its *job*.

capitalist want people dumb so they can keep using us to grease their machine.and since those capitalist run the education systems perhaps they have succeeded in their agenda of keeping people dumb,therefore predictable and controllable.allowing them to exploit us all.

Instead, provide a public specification for licenses using digital signatures, manage the PKI through a not-for-profit organization..."

Anyone care to comment on how a non-networked PFS device would connect to this service? I thought that is why the decryption was done on the client.

...Just cuious

besides who are you my old english teacher?
(btw my iq was over 50 points higher than hers),which is bad because my iq is only 69)
"Ah, conspiracy theorists."
WTF R U TALKIN 'BOUT !?
my guess it was my comment about dissecting virii.
well its true,years ago when i was begining to learn programming i decompiled a few,found tags from the creaters,searched for them,then traced down their basic info,including their place of occupation,and previous employers,lo and behold it was places like ms.
i dont have proof any more,and that hobby got boring and i moved on to others,but for a little while i thought that stuff was fascinating
i wish i still had the proof.nowadays i try to avoid virii as much as the next person.
but any one with the inclination and know how,or at least the inclination to get the know how,are more than welcome to find out for yourself.
be my guest.

and now to stoop to your level,and do some real mature name calling.

The proper name for the Microsoft DRM product is the Windows Media Rights Manager not PlaysForSureDRM.

I think that were Mr. Viodentia to be a content owner who was trying to profit from his creation, he would be irrate that somebody arbitrarily determined he did not have a right to take all measures possible to protect his work and introduced a tool to devalue these works.

Mr. Viodentia you are harming thousands of small and large business alike with this tool. If you only knew the type of people who you are taking money from with your careless actions.

Your not making any more of a statement than someone who were to attempt to release Anthrax in public.

Your work should not be condoned but condemned.

Christopher

Sorry to say you're wrong. Here's how the system works: You (or anyone, whatever their line of work, including creative writers or music or movie makers), spend time and work on something. Once you're finished, you are entitled to compensation, in exchange for the result of your work. After that, it is not yours any more. Real artists sell their original, at a huge price if their work is so valued, and don't possess it any more. If you prefer to sell your work to millions in the form of "copies" of your work, fine, but then 1) Those millions of "copies" have to be fairly priced so as not to overvalue the value of the work you've made, and 2) when that predetermined number of "copies" is sold, somebody (the law) should be charged to go ahead and destroy your original and prohibit you from making or selling any more "copies", because that's theft. Your work has been compensated. It has to have an end like everything else. If not, it's fraud.

So if there are to be any restrictions to "copying" or "using" works, they should be applied to the fraudulent producer, not to the consumer who pays for his meager "copy" 10 to 100 times its fair price.

So stop saying nonesense and embrace the opportunity to be rid of consumer exploitation, because you are one too.
